I am the Prime Minister's White Moonlight (Rebirth)

49

Qin Yujun rarely saw him express his emotions so openly. He was angry about Yin Mei, and very angry.

She knew Shen Yunshu too well. Seeing him like this, she knew everything in her heart. She almost couldn't hold back her tears. Her tearful appearance was even more pitiful. Princess Liyang couldn't bear to watch it. She advised, "Lord Shen, let's forget it..."

"It's just for fun. Today is a good day for a flower-viewing banquet. Why is Miss Qin crying?" Shen Yunshu said with a smile.

But when everyone saw his smile, they felt terrified and wanted to stay away from this place for fear of being implicated.

If they didn't know the inside story, everyone would probably think that Miss Qin had a grudge against him, rather than having liked him for a long time.

"Well, let's play a game." Qin Yujun was forced into a desperate situation by Shen Yunshu and had to rearrange the chessboard. Shen Yunshu didn't even look at her or throw the dice, but motioned for her to go first.

Yin Mei stood aside and watched nervously. They just said that Qin Yujun was very good at playing backgammon and even Shen Yunshu was no match for her. She was quite worried. She thought, if Shen Yunshu couldn't handle it, she would just play by herself.

Shen Yunshu moved very quickly, and Qin Yujun had no time to react, and he captured several of her white pieces in a row. Her face became increasingly paler, and in the end she barely had the strength to hold on to the chess pieces. She just managed to finish the game while wiping away her tears. Shen Yunshu won completely.

"Sir Shen, you are too much of a bully..." Chen Wan couldn't stand it any longer, "It's just a game of chess. Miss Qin is a girl after all. It's not necessary to let her lose so badly..."

"It's just a game of chess." Shen Yunshu said indifferently, "Miss Qin, why does my wife want to apologize to you?"

Everyone was silent.

Princess Liyang also felt a little embarrassed.

She was good friends with Grand Tutor Qin, and usually had a good relationship with Qin Yujun. Today, she took this opportunity to deliberately help Qin Yujun and find a chance to vent her anger.

And everyone just thought that Yin Mei was born in a humble family, and took advantage of Shen Yunshu to become a phoenix, in order to suppress her and let her know that marrying a good husband would not change her humble family background.

It's just a game of backgammon. It's unfair, but what big deal can it accomplish? Even Mrs. Shen can only suffer in silence.

But no one expected that they had offended someone they shouldn't have offended, and no one expected that Lord Shen would stand up for the lady over such a small matter.

In the capital city, the circle of women is completely separated from that of men. Men don't care about the tricks between women, nor are they too lazy to care.

This move by Shen Yunshu was the first of its kind in the capital.

Yin Mei saw that everyone looked unhappy, but she did not stop Shen Yunshu.

She was indeed feeling very aggrieved, so aggrieved that she almost cried just now. If he hadn't come... she would have been the one crying and unable to raise her head today.

Shen Yunshu quietly glanced at everyone present, stood up, saluted the princess, then turned and left.

"Madam, please go back home."

"Yeah." Yin Mei bowed to everyone and followed Shen Yunshu.

Shen Yunshu started walking very fast, and Yin Mei could hardly keep up, so she jogged all the way. Shen Yunshu looked down at her, slowed down his pace, bent down to listen to what she said with her head raised, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.
